BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a blanket attached to a door for protecting cold waves entering into a room, and more particularly relates to a blanket attached to a door for protecting cold waves entering into the room from space between door and door frame.

2. Description of the Related Art

Generally blankets have a relatively thin outer membrane and an insulating material sealed inside of the membrane. Such blankets are commonly used to insulate household appliances such as door, refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, and similar apparatus. Such blankets are generally attached on the door to keep the room warm. The weather is very cold in winter and cold draft enters into the room from the space in between the door and the door frame.

However the present blankets fail to provide a covering for the air coming from the space in between the door and the door frame. Therefore, there is a need of a blanket to cover the space in between the door and the door frame. Further, the blanket should have insulation from the water.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a blanket attached to the door for protecting from cold waves entering into a room is provided.

An object of the present invention is to provide a blanket including a first layer attached on the door having a first cut-out for the knob of the door, a second layer attached on the first layer having a second cut-out for the knob of the door, plurality of velcros runs along the edges of the first layer for facilitating attachment to the door, a lip layer attached to edge of each side of the attachment of the first layer for covering the space between the door and the door frame and plurality of elastic bands attached to the corners of the first layer and adjacent sides of the lip layer to facilitate the second layer to hook on the corner of the door.

Another object of the invention is to provide a blanket wherein the first layer and the second layer having a third cut-out for a door window. The third cut-out enables the people to look through the door.

Another object of the invention is to provide a blanket with the length of the first layer and the second layer is 82 inches and the breadth of the first layer and the second layer is 41 inches. The thickness of the lip layer is ⅜ inches and the combine thickness of the first layer and the second layer is 2/8 inches.

These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more fully apparent in the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded view of the blanket 100 attached on the door 102 for protecting from cold waves entering into a room. The blanket 100 includes a first layer 104, a second layer 106, plurality of velcros 108 such as 108 a, 108 b, 108 c, 108 d etc, a lip layer 110 and plurality of elastic bands 112 such as 112 a, 112 b, 112 c and 112 d. The first layer 104 attaches on the door 102 for providing a water resistant membrane and a thermal insulation membrane. The first layer 104 has a first cut-out 114 for the door knob. The first layer 104 is explained in detailed in conjunction with FIG. 3 of the present invention.

The second layer 106 is overlappingly attached on the first layer 104 for protecting from cold waves on the door 102 area. The second layer 106 has a second cut-out 116 for the door knob 102. The second layer 106 is explained in detailed in conjunction with FIG. 2 of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second layer 106 is attached to the first layer 104 by stitching.

The plurality of velcros 108 such as 108 a, 108 b and 108 c runs along the edges of the first layer 104. The plurality of velcros 108 facilitates attachment of the first layer 104 to the door 102. The velcros 108 are explained in detail in conjunction with FIG. 3 of the present invention.
